It's totally a personal decision. I think it's fine to tell anyone whose shoulder you would want to lean on if the unthinkable happens. That being said, we are trying not to tell anyone until the 2nd trimester.

This is baby number 4 for us and with all of them we have told as soon as the stick says positive. It's really a personal preference. However for us everyone usually knows we are trying and is always asking if we are or not and I'd hate to lie to them if we were. They are just as excited for us and I know they'd all be here for us if something went wrong.

My BFP came before Xmas and we have chosen to keep it secret. We had 2 mc's before having DS and it was heart breaking having to ring parents and tell them what happened. I'm not much of touchy feely person so I hated having to tell ppl what happened etc. We told around 8 weeks with DS but doubt ill even tell till 12 weeks with this one, I live 4000kms away from family so only see then twice a year so not hard to keep a secret. My DH and bbf know but that's it.
